Previously it was reported that AKB48 will co-host a new music show on TBS together with SMAP's Nakai Masahiro and Esumi Makiko.

The show is titled [Kayou-kyoku], which is a play on Kayou (火曜/tuesday) the day the show airs, and Kayokyoku (歌謡曲/popular song).

Kayou-kyoku will air nationwide on TBS every Tuesday, 21:00, with each episode will have around 3-4 artists. Nakai Masahiro and Esumi Makiko will both be present on all episodes, however the AKB48 member(s) will be swapped every episode. It is not known if the members of AKB48's sister groups will participate in the show as hosts.

- Yui getting made fun of by Nakai was priceless. Highlight of the ep.- Akicha looked super cute. Definitely top 16 worthy imo. Look at her, so cute and innocent:

- After all these months I may be have become a little tired of Sashihara's antics. There was a lot of it in this ep.- Same (and then some) goes for Lemon.

- The dokkiri was ok, but a bit weak. It would have been a lot funnier is they had messed with the totalizer scores.- Very cool to see ELT again. One of the first Japanese bands I got into at the time.
